The three candidates for a seat in the lower -house of congress front j t he Oth district add rested an audience of abwtit two hundred and lit-; 1 v at the cotton .-died last Saturday. The meeting was orderly, and' passed oil" without any spceial un-[ pleasantness. As in every similar gathering there were one or two: noisy one who talked loud and interrupted the speakers somewhat. It was an interesting meeting, and i ;i! limes muiosa e.-.eitini;. Jt isimpossible t< say who had i tu<* crowd. It was very evident Iiiiit <-:?cIi of t Ik* candidates had y^, friends in the audience, and a hand j primary mijrht have shown nearly ;n) even division. Whether this1 surmise he correct results will | prove. (' tiTtiy Chairman A II. Williams' presided atul introduced the first! speaker at i p. m.

Those papers; tiscv claimed a-> true are absolutely j fatee. I Norton lias an affidavit purport- \ injr to have been signed by (?o!.j \\ ilie Jones, stating that l:o noti-1 tied the county chairman of the, lection in the -ml regiment, etc. I This was not signed by Col.

As Norton's lawyer 1 had nothing to do with those papers Ellerhe spoke of. {Norton says tltat is correct) I never heard those papers! questioned until they were questioned on the stand by Ellerhe. {Scarborough then went on to explain how the papers were used, in which he was corroborated 1?j* Norton ] I did vote for Norton ! the first time he was a candidate. -i. _ J / _ U!

That's why Ellerbe objects to my candidacy. Norton objects for the same reason. Jf defeated, 1 will accept defeat gracefully. No use to wait for Norton to.give up of his owu accord.

JAMHS Nonrax Then spoke in substance a? follows: Those papers spoken of hv Filer be is n matter I thought settled Jt ought not to have heen dragged into this campaign. Klleibe is like the hell that was in the grape-vine when the fox was trying to get His supper that rang every time the fox seized a grape, lie has a big mouth, Jong tongue, li?1 of a fuss, hut not a d?n bit of brains. Ellerbeis winning over a matter that was settled by the executive committee. He should not have hinted that that body was party to a fraud. Jtlack well was a member of that committee. Von know he would not have been a part v 1 to a fraud. Ellerbe charges the soldiers with perjury. J would be; ashamed to stand m the halls' of! eougiyss did I not believe myself elected by a majority of the votes of my district. Ellerbe had a chance to see Nettles at Lanes last night and barn that lie lived at Eoreston when iie enlisted [Ellerbe interrupting: "1 did not call Nettles* name b:tc I saw him and be gave me light names. "] I might go in other parts of the district and lind where boys under age had voted.

[Norton then defended his j actions in congress, his votes on the1 Xicnraguan canal, Hawaiian annex- J ation, etc.] Am opposed to iinpe-! rialism and in accord with the Khii-| sas City platform.
